A firefighter, a teacher and a policeman criticize Mitt Romney for saying that we don’t need to hire more public sector workers in a DNC web video called “Fewer of Me.” 

“Mitt Romney says there should be fewer of me,” the firefighter says. “He wants to cut taxes for people like himself by cutting jobs like mine.” At the end, the teacher says: “You know what we really need less of? Romney economics.”

For several days now, the two campaigns have been going back and forth about who’s more out of touch, with Democrats hammering on the point that Mitt Romney doesn’t want to hire more teachers, firefighters or cops.
